  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 67 mins

    Fulham 1-2 Chelsea

    Kepa called into action again by the two heroes of last season for Fulham. Tom Cairney shoots low and hard from about 25 yards, it bounces just in front of Kepa and he does well to push it clear. Ryan Sessegnon keeps it in, beats Emerson and hammers in a low cross/shot which Kepa again does well to hold.

    Fulham having a real go...

    Fulham force a corner, the home fans are right behind their side here. They like what they see. Can the Cottagers nick (at least) a point?

    Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    That is a horrendous tackle from Jorginho, he catches Sessegnon right across the ankle. If Graham Scott sees that one back again he might have changed his mind and given a red card.

    Fulham have played well. Every single man has put a shift in. The are getting outplayed at the moment but they are still in the game.

    Rich applause for Kevin McDonald as he comes off - Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa is on. Ryan Sessegnon is still being treated, in fact he's up and is OK. He's going to run it off.

    Ryan Sessegnon, switched over to the right for this second half, glides past two men and Jorginho flies in and takes him out. Poor challenge, and he's booked. Don Hutchison wants a red...

    It feels like a matter of time before Chelsea get their third. Eden Hazard is popping up everywhere. He plays a great ball across the six-yard box but there are no Blues players there to turn it in.

    Chelsea are very comfortable at the start of this second half. Fulham have to get their bodies in the way of another effort from Eden Hazard.

    The Chelsea fans are singing Frank Lampard's name.

  10. 'No penalty'published at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2019

    Fulham 1-2 Chelsea

    Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    I don't think it was a penalty. Tim Ream got across to Kante and from a yard and a half it came off the American's hand. It would have been very harsh if it was given.

    Jorginho hasn't won over everyone since his summer move but this must be one of his batter games this season. He's already grabbed a goal and now plays a lovely ball over the top for Willian. The Brazilian takes the shot early but hits the side-netting.

    Moments later another great pass from the midfielder sets Chelsea off again. Tim Ream comes across to block the cross and he does so with the use of his hand. He was only a yard or so away though so it would have been very harsh to give a penalty.

    Breaking

    Everton v Liverpool (16:15 GMT)

    Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is only fit to make the bench, so Divock Origi - who scored a late winner at Anfield - gets a start.

    Richarlison is on the bench for Everton, with Bernard coming in.

    Full team news to come.

    More Chelsea pressure. Willian now drives into the box and drills a shot on goal. Sergio Rico makes a bit of a meal of this save. He fumbles the ball, scrambles to prevent a corner and almost hands a chance to Higuain. Fulham manage to get it under control, however.

    I would imagine Scott Parker would have been positive at half-time, Babel and Sessegnon have switched sides in a positional change following the break.

    FT: Watford 2-1 Leicester

    Watford manager Javi Gracia, speaking to Match of the Day: "I think in the first half we played much better than the second. Maybe we had to kill the game. We created chances to do it. In the second we lost possession and they had some chances. My players played really well and we deserved a good result.

    "Andre Gray played some minutes against Everton and has scored important goals. We know he is always ready. I know all my players deserve more time but it is not easy to choose 11. What is more important for me is I know the players I choose are always ready.

    "We are enjoying the season. When there are nine games left we have 43 points it is an important amount of points for us but I can feel the players want more and more. Who knows what can happen in the future."
